Act 1: House

To start Act 1, after the initial cutscene, position yourself between Mr. Peterson's house and Nicky Roth's house. You'll witness Mr. Peterson locking a basement door and then catching you. The key for the red lock is on the second floor of his house. After respawning in front of your house, gather 3-4 boxes from the room under the stairs. Stack two boxes on the shelf to the left of Mr. Peterson's porch to reach the roof. Jump onto the porch roof, then to the left section. Throw a box at a window to break it and enter. Remove the large flower painting to reveal a hole. Take the key to Mr. Peterson's car and use the yellow key on the yellow lock. Open the car trunk and retrieve the electromagnet. Go to the back of the house, use four boxes to build a staircase to a small window. Use the electromagnet to get the lockpick. Enter the storage room using the lockpick. Grab the wrench and open the backyard ladder. Climb the ladder, enter the roof hole, take the red key, and use it to open the basement door in the living room.

Act 1: Basement

Descend the stairs, open the washing machine, and enter it. Inside, break through a window. Open the bars on the right, go left, and proceed to the end of the hallway. Turn left and open the first door. Use a chair to open the door at the other end of the room. Open all doors in this room, then return to the starting area and go forward. Open the bars at the end of the hallway. Remove a chair blocking a door and return to the initial room. Turn off the breaker box. The neighbor will now patrol the basement.
